Topic: My car has 340hp at the crank and 0hp at the wheels (Read 2128 times)

Well... kinda. I got my APR Stage 3+ kit in... so now I just need to get it in the car. Tomorrow I am going to Joel's (RS Motorsports) to see if Joel can patch my tranny or if i need to replace the whole thing.

If I have to replace it, I'm going to a 6speed o2m tranny. If I don't have to replace it, I should be at VWOTG with my car.

not running an FMIC, running a dual side mount IC with TT manifold. on 91 octane I expect to push about 290-295whp (just shy of 300). But with 100 octane, I expect to push about 340whp. I'm going to the dyno after I get the stage 3+ kit installed and my transmission fixed.

If you want to check out the power, I'll give you a ride.

oh, and I am going o2m 6 speed transmission... sucks, cause now I need a new quaife, and other things.

Well I hope that it goes well for you with Joel. He's a good guy. Tell him Winston says hello.

I am going to try and make it to VWOTG Sunday for a short while and bring my son. Since he's not even 1 yet, I can't commit to more than an hour, but he needs to get started in the VAG scene, so this is a good time to start.

BTW, I don't even know what you drive, Spicoli. What should I look for?

I'll have to hold you to that one, I have a friend that is trying to make car vids, he did one last year of the whole VDub scence if anyone wants one on DVD but this would be a great thing for that too.

I have the gray GTI that looks like a 20th. If I come on Sunday, I won't drive my car, I'll come in a Red GLI (my girls car... stock that thing is amazing.. her car is so HOT)

I'll have to hold you to that one

Why Dual sides instead of the Fmic?

I'll give you a ride. I am not a fan of letting people drive my car, but it is not an issue for me to give people a ride. It probably wil be about 2 weeks before I have the kit on, etc. My car is driveable right now, Joel is awesome. He patched it and filled it with tranny fluid, but a bearing is going out, etc... so I don't really want to drive my car unless I have to.

Why, DSMIC, I have a european bumper and anniversary lip from the european 337. That set up is about 2"-3" shorter than the NA. I really wanted to do an APR FMIC, but I would have to cut so much of my bumper away, that it was not a good idea. There are FMICs that will fit behind my bumper, like Forge's, but they are not designed for the amount of air volume I am going to be running with my kit. Everything that can handle a GT28RS was too big. I could have done custom, but the DSMIC gave what I needed, a stealth look and lots of air capasity for pretty cheap (I love the look of a sleeper, my body kit doesn't really make my car a sleeper anymore). Another big reason for me, was rocks. FMICs are exposed to the elements and they will get beaten up with all the rocks we have on the roads.
